Chapter 172: Giving a dowry
In March, counting the days is the day when Meng Shan gets married, and the good wife has been decided, which is the Zhu family.
Previously, Qiuru married and asked the Xuan family to be a good wife, but this time the Lin family married a girl and invited the Zhu family, and the relationship between the two families was better.
The Zhu family fully meets the conditions for being a good wife, and she is quite eloquent, so she must be right and familiar with her.
However, the Lin family also has concerns, they had such an unpleasant quarrel with Gu Pingyong before, no matter what the Zhu family says, they are also members of the Gu family, and this family affair is related to Qiu Ling of the Gu family again, so I am afraid that inviting the Zhu family will make it difficult for Gu Pingzhang.
Lin Dezheng and Wu went to talk about it together, and they also talked about their concerns, but Gu Pingzhang didn't take it to heart at all.
"My eldest brother is like that, no matter if you provoke him or not, he is unhappy in his heart, I don't want to delay things because of him, I can do what I want, this is a happy event, can it be pushed out?"
"I know you're thinking about us, but it's not a problem, I'll do it for Tiankuo's mother."
In this way, the good wife also decided on the Zhu family and arranged it properly.
I wanted to invite the cook to come back in the town to cook, but Wu suddenly thought, isn't Xuan's cooking skills very good?
"The third daughter-in-law, you see that this will not be successful, on the day of the big girl's wedding, the family will set up a banquet, we will not invite the cook from the town to come back, you come to take charge of the spoon, and then you will naturally invite the neighbors to come over to help, there are a lot of people who help the cook, and they should be busy, and the money for the chef will be collected for you, what do you think?"
When Xuan's heard this, he smiled and said, "Mother, it's really too angry for the family to say this, I am also Mengshan's aunt, she is married, and I am in charge of setting up the banquet, what's wrong with this?" You don't have to give me the silver, it's all a family, why is it so troublesome? ”
"Don't hide it from my mother, I thought about it before, but I was afraid that my craftsmanship was still not up to par, so I didn't dare to bring it up easily, since my mother said so, then I should do it, it's not a big deal, I'll come."
Wu Shi hurriedly said, "Your skills are naturally good, I think the skills of many cooks are better, this is very tiring, if you can't hold on, you still invite two people from the town, when you are in charge, it will be easier to have two people to help, what do you say?" ”
Xuan's smiled, "Mother, it's nothing, we have opened a restaurant in Chongzhou for a few years, and I have already practiced it, and when business is good, I don't have much chance to leave the stove every day." ”
Hearing this, Wu Shi felt distressed in his heart, women's strength is not as strong as that of men, Xuan's thin arms and legs have to be shaken, how tired is that?
Thinking about it like this, I feel sorry for her, over the years, the two of them have worked really hard outside, and the money has not been taken to the family, and when they come back, they have handed over all the silver to the public school, hey.
"Don't be reckless, you'll have to set up nearly twenty tables by then."
Xuanshi nodded, "Don't worry, mother, I will definitely handle this matter." ”
After Wu told her that he had made up his mind, he went to work on other things, and Liu said on the side, "Brother and sister, thank you so much." ”
Xuan's smiled, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about, the family doesn't need to be so polite, I just said this." ”
"I don't hide it from my sister-in-law, in fact, I like to cook in charge, if I don't like it, how can I last so many years outside?"
Liu smiled and said, "Your craftsmanship is good, this time you are in charge, everyone should say that our banquet is well organized." ”
The dowry was given on the fourth day of the first month of March, and the Zhu family came to the Lin family early in the morning, and she was also dressed up today.
Meng Shan was in the courtyard when Zhu came, and she smiled and said, "Meng Shan, are the clothes made for Chen Ping ready?" ”
Meng Shanlian blushed slightly and nodded, "I'm done." ”
"That's done, I'll take it to the Chen family in a while." Zhu said with a smile, entered the upper room, and was about to set off when the Lin family was ready.
Wu and Lin De were on the dowry list, afraid that there would be any mistakes or omissions, Zhu smiled and said, "The big girl's marriage is so beautiful, this dowry should be enviable." ”
Wu was happy, "Qiu Ru was not bad when she got married, the big girl is nothing, and the first grandchild of our family is naturally bothered." ”
Zhu is very happy, Meng Shan is a good girl, she has found a good home, and her mother's family values it, so she is naturally happy for her.
The girls of the Lin family are all good, but none of her sons are suitable for Meng Shan, otherwise they really want to get married.
Thinking of this, the Zhu family suddenly pondered one thing, Tiankuo and Tianyou are not suitable for Mengshan, but there are other girls in the Lin family.
At this time, Siqi came in with a smile, called Zhu, and then asked, "Grandma, can Menghuan and I go to play today?" ”
Wu smiled and said, "Go, you can go if you want, it's not far from left and right, you take Zichen with you, go to the tent, and add joy to your eldest sister." ”
"Okay." Siqi smiled and stuck out his tongue and ran out happily.
Zhu thought about it, thinking that this girl is not bad, if there is that fate, it will be really blessed to be a daughter-in-law for herself in the future.
But now that the child is too young, she just thinks so in her heart, so naturally she won't say it, if the two children are really suitable in the future, it will not be too late to mention it when the time comes.
Anyway, Tiankuo will not be bad, her son, his character is naturally no problem, and the Lin family is not a family that dislikes the poor and loves the rich, no matter how you think about it, it is a good family matter.
The dowry was good, all the things were ready, and the people in the village who helped to give the dowry also came, and everyone happily set off to the Chen family.
Siqi saw it last time, and this time I wasn't so curious, I went to the Chen family mainly to see how the Chen family was, this is where the eldest sister will live in the future, so it's so reassuring to see.
The Yang family is very kind, just like last time, it looks very easy to get along with, and I hope it will be the same in the future.
Although Siqi felt that the idea of patriarchy was very important, she still prayed in her heart, hoping that her eldest sister would have a son for the first time, so that life in her in-law's family would be easier.
The conditions of the Chen family are indeed better than those of the Lin family, although the house is not new, but there are two courtyards in the front yard and the back yard, and a few large tile houses, which are comfortable to look at.
There are mulberry trees and jujube trees in the yard, a few fruit trees in the backyard, chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, everything is well organized, very proper, and it can be seen that the owner of this family is a good person.
Such a family is good, much better than those high-ranking families, Siqi is very relieved, the eldest sister is also very diligent, and she will definitely live a better life after marrying.
